I do believe in a good balance between adult & child in therapy. It's just that my inner child feels such intense anxiety at T's advice to socialize, that it takes days to get over the fear. It's such a drag to deal with the anxiety day after day. I guess it's necessary, tho, as I wouldn't be in therapy if I could relate the normal way. My inner child feels T is the only one that matters and that she will literally die if T wants her to prefer someone else.
Stopdog, I like your response too, about the money. I pay, and I should speak up when I feel something is coming at me too hard, whether right or wrong about it.
